This. It really differs for every game. Some games render a lot off-screen, while others don't (these ones are more suspectible to needing render fixes).

The widescreen patches, at least 95% of them, are safe. Even if there is an FPS drop, I doubt 16:9 would cause a huge difference. It's not like a 4:3 game at 60fps would drop to 40 in 16:9, it would be more around 56 or 57 if such a thing ever happened.
